I would really like to win this book for my daughter who is a new sewer and loves to create vintage clothing. It looks like it would be a hit with her! Thank you for bringing this unusual book to my attention.

A great backboard I've used is foam core board that is available at office and art supply stores in 1/4 and 1/2 inch thicknesses. Two pieces of 1/4 inch can be glued together for a lightweight, non bending stable base that the pins will slip into easily.
